If I was going to drop ship, I would look into a solid company. I have heard of Worldwide Brands and Doba, but I know little about them.

It is possible to be successful with drop shipping, but it is very hard. You are putting someone in the middle of you and your customer. Anytime your drop shipper makes a mistake, it's your fault. Drop shipping also has a much lower gross margin. Having a real inventory requires startup capital, drop shipping does not. Many people start with drop shipping and move on to greater things once they get the money. I would suggest doing both. Do your drop shipping, but also stock 2 or 3 popular products. This will help you understand the differences between the two and still have a large product selection. You will run into problems if they order 2 items and one is in stock and one is drop shipped, but you'll figure it out. As far as the 2 drop shippers, try the free one first and see how it goes. If there is a problem, drop them ASAP. Remember, it's all about customer service. If you drop ship correctly, the customer will never know.

Ive looked into a lot of dropshipping programs and I found one where I can offer my product as low or lower as my competition, but its has a monthly fee... I found another dropshipping where its fee bought I have to buy the products at the same price my competition is selling to public, which means I'd have to mark it up quite a bit ot make a profit. My question is, since im in a very competitve market, should I start smaller, and should I go with free one now until my site gets better well known, then go to the other dropshipper, or go with better prices from the start. Thanks well, I was wondering if you ever did Dropshipping and do you think its worth it? so I dont have inventory all over the house ;)
